Well I am back from my afternoon with the girls. Dad's away so the girls and I were able to "play"
We dropped off Lynn at work and then headed to Target to use a gift card that Shelby got for her birthday LAST year. My purse is FULL of all sorts of gift certificates and different things that I have accumulated over the year/years. Typical mom purse and it is no WONDER I have migraines LOL. That sucker weighs a ton. But the girls are constantly getting little certificates for free dinners at Red Robin or Applebys and in fact we used one at Claim Jumpers last night that Katy got probably last year at school. Luckily it didn't expire.
But they get them all the time for attendance or doing good on their homework or whatever. So I have a TON of those and we join all the different birthday clubs at baskin and robbins, Dennys, Marie Calendars you name it so I am constantly getting coupons for free meals or pieces of pie, ice cream cones whatever. Then since Shane is a soccer coach and we do a TON of volunteering we get lots of gift cards for restaurants etc. So I have lots of those too. That is probably what we will use if we do end up going out for our anniversary next weekend.
But anyway Shelby had a 20 gift cert from her birthday for target from LAST April but I just never got around to using it and so I FINALLY took her today and then my uncle gives them 10 gift certs to Barnes and Noble every year for Christmas AND their birthdays so today we gift cert redemption day LOL.
So we went to target and I was also able to pick up my cards for Shane for v-day and our anniversary next week as well as a birthday card for mom since HER birthday as Feb 26th. I got the BEST card too. It is like a dictionary listing and it says BIATCH (noun) and then underneath is says definition anyone younger and skinnier than us. And then down below it says something like Happy Birthday. Hopefully your birthday doesn't have too many BIATCHS or something to that effect. I loved it. SO funny. Target has the BEST cards! And the anniversary card I got shane has these two old people and the old man says something like the day we met was the luckiest day of my life and the old lady says mine too. And then you open it and he says It was your luckiest day too and she says no it was YOUR luckiest day of YOUR life. I am probably screwing it up but it was hilarious.
Anyway so the girls got their stuff and then at Barnes and Noble Katy picked out a set that had Secret Garden, the Little Princess and Anne of Green Gables. I was really pleased to see her picking the classics. Last time she bought Phantom of the Opera and another classic but I forget which it was but I am so glad to see her reading the classics and not just captain underpants or whatever. Not that there is anything wrong with those books but I am glad she is expanding her horizons to the classics as well!
Anyway so we had a good day and it was a lot of fun so now we are going to watch the old classic version of the little princess with Shirley temple!
& some 7 up. We watched Knocked up. That movie cracks me up!!
